1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Read prior to activation

You have just purchased a complicated

electronic device. To operate it properly, please

read this manual carefully. Here are some

common precautions that must be noted.

•

NEVER disassemble the unit. This device

contains high voltage, which may be

hazardous to your health!

• NEVER expose the opened objective lens of

an active unit in daylight. (Note: 1st

generation units will still remain active for a

few minutes after switching the unit off). At

daytime objective lens must be covered by

caps. There is a tiny hole in the cap to

provide enough light for day time operation.

It is allowed to turn on the unit at daytime,

but the lenses must be covered by caps.

•

NEVER aim active unit at intense light sources (i.e.

lights, headlamps, campfires, the moon, etc.)3

•

NEVER reverse the polarity of a battery

•

NEVER connect the unit to external power sources

•

ALWAYS remove batteries when not in use for a long

period

•

ALWAYS keep the objective lenses covered

when not in use

•

ALWAYS store in a warm dry place when not in use

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE NIGHT

VISION RIFLE SCOPE DN-140.

PLEASE DEMAND TO CHECK THE DEVICE FOR

PROPER OPERATION WHEN BUYING IT.

PLEASE READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS

CAREFULLY BEFORE USING.

2. OVERVIEW

The night vision rifle scope DN-140 is an

observational optico-electronic monocular device intended

for precise shooting, examining distant objects orientation at

nighttime conditions. The unit utilizes an image intensifier

which amplifies available moonlight,

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

The scope does not work.

- Check that the batteries are installed properly.

- Check the charge of the batteries. Replace if they are weak. Do

not use old batteries with new ones.

The image does not appear in focus.

Bring the inspected object to the center of the image.

Turning the objective lens ring (7), and/or the eye-piece (2)

adjust to achieve the clearest image on the screen. Repeat

the steps of focusing if necessary

If the view still does not seem in focus, clean the lenses;

they could be foggy or dusty.

Unit flashes

It is normal for the unit to flash within the first 2 minutes of

activation. If the flashing continues afterwards the following

is a possible cause: bright environment (even with the cap

closed !)

Condensation accumulates on the parts.

It is O.K. to use the scope in cold. However, when the unit is

brought from the cold into a warm environment, it has to

warm up for up to 5 hours (not minutes !). Only then it is

allowed to turn it ON again.

Visibility decreases and / or disappears.

Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may

cause visibility to degrade or even completely disappear.

Move the scope away from the light source immediately.

7. Next, focus the scope by turning the focus ring on the

sight’s ring. You may have to re-focus both lenses to

achieve sharp focus.

NOTE: For best result, use a 50mm lens. Wide angle and/or

zoom lenses typically cannot provide a full-screen image

through the DN-200 unit. Camera lens aperture setting

lower (wider) than f2.0 may result in lower image

resolution.

FILM: Use a ISO 400 film or faster. Also, using a tripod is

strongly recommended due to the low shutter speeds

common in night vision photography. The following table

shows approximate shutter speeds at various ISO values

with the aperture set at f1.8.

ISO 50 100 200 400 800 1600 3200

Shutter Speed, s 1 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/15 1/30 1/60

7. b) Using DN-140 As a Rifle Scope

1. Attach the scope to the rifle using weaver weapon mount

(8). The scope is supplied with a standard 7/8” weaver

mount (or optional European Mount).

2. Turn On the scope (make sure the lens cover is on if it is

daylight).

3. Unscrew the windage/elevation covers (9).

4. Adjust the reticle by screwing the windage/elevation

screws (up-down), (left-right). Each horizontal click is

21mm/100m (3/4“ @ 100 yards); vertical click is

12mm/100m (3/8” @ 100 yards).

5. Screw the windage/elevation covers back on when done.

starlight or man-made light. The scope was designed to be

easy to use, and provide many years of operation.

• wildlife observation

• nighttime photography and video

• security

• boating

Features

• Water resistant;

• The DN-140 Rifle Scope is camera/video adaptable;

• The DN-140 comes with precision windage/elevation

• Automatic brightness protection

• Soft rubberized eye piece makes the viewing more

comfortable;

• Standard and commonly available 2AA batteries ensure

nonstop operation of the device for no less than 50 hours.

Warning!

After transportation or keeping the device at temperature

lower than -40°C (-40°F), the device must be warmed up to

ambient temperature, from -10°C (14°F) to +40°C (104°F),

relative humidity of 80% max. at 20°C (68°F).

Precautions

DN-140 is a sophisticated precision optical instrument

equipped with electronics.

Therefore, it should be handled with due care.

• Keep your device away from direct sunlight, impacts,

dust, moisture, and sudden changes of temperatures.

• Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so

may damage the anti-reflection coating.

• Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with

professional camera lens cleaning supplies.

• To clean the exterior of the device, use a soft clean cloth.

• Do not take the cover off the lens if not necessary.

• Keep away from heating appliances and central heating.

• Make sure to switch off the unit during periods of non-

operation and when storing the device for long period of

time.

• Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens

assembly, agile elements and thread connections.

• Due to considerable optical magnification of the eye-

piece some small structures inside the tube coating in the

form of dark and/or white points may be seen in the field

of view which does not affect the serviceability of the

device.;

6.3 Operation at night

AT INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT

ILLUMINATION

At insufficient ambient illumination use the

Infra/Red illuminator (5). Activated by rotating switch (10)

clockwise.

If brightness of the screen is decreasing, replace the

batteries.

VIDEO CAMCORDER

1. Pull out the rubber eye-guard (3) out from the eye-piece

(2).

2. Thread the camera adapter (optional) onto the filter

threads of your camera’s lens.

The camera adapter uses a 52mm thread size; a common

filter thread size for many Nikon, Canon and Minolta lenses.

You may purchase a step-up/step-down ring from your local

camera store if your lens does not use 52mm filters.

3. Fit the other end of the Camera adapter onto the eyepiece

socket of the scope. Lock the adapter in place by using the

three screws.

4. Connect the lens to the camera.

5. Make sure that you are in a dark area and that the lens

cap is attached, switch the unit ON.

6. Focus the camera lens until the image is sharp.
